"He was born ignorant, and he's been losing ground ever since."

"If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving may not be for you."

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for one day, but teach him to tie flies, and he will spend days in his basement ignoring his personal hygiene."

"It isn't possible to make something foolproof. Things can only be made fool resistant because fools are too determined and resourceful."

This one seems to apply to me, and it may even be original to me: "Some people learn by trial and error, but I tend to learn by error and trial."

Elaine Dickinson: When will you be back?
Ted Striker: I can't tell you that. It's classified. End Quote.
Ted Striker: It's Lieutenant Hurwitz. Severe shell-shock. Thinks he's Ethel Merman.
Lieutenant Hurwitz: [singing] You'll be swell, you'll be great. Gonna have the whole world on a plate. Startin' here, startin' now. Honey, everything's comin' up roses...
Ted Striker: War is hell. End Quote. Steve McCroskey: Get me someone who won't crack under pressure.
